I shifted my support over to Rick Santorum after Michell Bachmann went broke and pulled out of the presidential race. Oops, I'm using "presidential" and "race" in the same sentence...may have the brown shirts on my butt over this...
I was far more comfortable with Bachmann, than Santorum. There was just something about him that didn't click with me...couldn't put my finger on it, but since he was saying the right things I went over to his side. I knew I'd never be able to swallow Gingrich. I resided in his "house district" in Georgia, way back when...and I want nothing to do with that intelligent, but childish smart ass. "The Newt" might make a good ambassador, but, with real, grounded brainiacs like John Bolton around, who needs a wild card out anywhere on this planet who is representing the US. We've had enough of that kind of crap within this current administration of thugs and buffoons.
Now, however, it's time for Santorum to bow out gracefully. He can do it if he makes his behind the scenes moves right now. I'm not saying that the Romney campaign would listen to him, because there are far too many egos roaming around these campaigns, for better, or, in greater numbers, for worse.
What I see now is Rick Santorum burning all his bridges as much as he is throwing tantrums. He touts being a conservative Christian, but I see little Christianity in Rick's behavior. I see a conservative version of Obama throwing a petulant "hissy-fit". That doesn't bode well for him among independents. That kind of behavior is not becoming any candidate, as we see every day with Obama.
Rick and his behavior is pushing prudent voters toward Romney, who has chosen to stay out of the sewer when it comes to Santorum and Gingrich. On my face book page I recommended that both leave now, while they still have some dignity. Paul can stay. He represents a group of American blue bloods, whom the Obama campaign refers to as "rednecks". Paul's constituents represent to day to day, lifeblood of rural Americana. Paul should not be a vice presidential candidate, but he is needed to keep the Republican Party, the real one, not the RINOs, together. Gingrich and Santorum, when undressed, are simply more "Washington as usual" vicious politicians. As far as they are concerned, we've had "ENOUGH!"
Let's face it. We conservatives will vote for whomever wins at the convention. Many of us can look back at the Carter (UGH!) years and recall that we weren't that enthusiastic about Carter's challenger, a guy named Ronald Reagan. The issues we face as a nation go far beyond who our candidate is. Major changes must take place if America is to continue to succeed and grow. First and foremost, Unions must be ended in this country. We cannot continue to call ourselves a great Republic when we allows Socialist/Marxist/Communist organizations to rule MOB behavior. Teachers are hired to teach, not to indoctrinate innocent students.
God Bless America! God Save America!

The Wisconsin primary (April 3) may be Santorum's last stand. If Santorum doesn't win, he may bow out gracefully before the Pennslyvania primary April 24th.
Romney may catch some luck if the Supreme Court rules Obamacare unconstitutional. That would take Romney's weakest issue off the table in the fall campaign.
